Titre : Physics and mechanics of polymer solutions and gels in novel green solvents
Responsable : Vahdati Mehdi (PECMAT)

Description du projet
This research project aims to study the effects of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) on the mechanical properties of polymer networks (gels and solutions). DES, a type of green solvents, offer various and tunable properties as well as a dense hydrogen bonds network. The project will compare polymer networks synthesized in DES with those in traditional water-based hydrogels. Key properties, such as swelling, gel content, and mechanical resistance, will be analyzed to determine the impact of DES on network structure and performance. See pdf for more details

Informations complémentaires
An open-minded, curious, and interactive student ready to work as part of a multidisciplinary research team. Candidates with a profile in polymer physical chemistry, polymer physics, and soft matter mechanics are encouraged to apply. Experience in polymer physical chemistry is a plus; no experience in polymer chemistry is required. Applications will be assessed based on motivations, relevance, and DE&I (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). Fluent communication in English is a requirement. Please send a CV and a motivation letter to mehdi.vahdati@ics-cnrs.unistra.fr and mathilde.lescure@ics-cnrs.unistra.fr. The motivation letter must clearly state the relevance of the application to the group's areas of research.
